Distributing mod with extra jars

[ldodds]

I have a mod that uses some open source libraries packaged as separate jar files. During development I've been adding these to the lib directory. Once added to the eclipse project this works fine.

 

When I'm ready to distribute my mod where would these jars need to be placed? Will minecraft forge add extra jar files from a standard location, e.g mods/lib or similar?

 

I couldn't see any documentation on this, so thought I'd ask.

 

Cheers,

 

L.

This should go in the Modder Support forum, but I will help anyway.

Poke around with ILibrarySet and RelaunchLibraryManager. Your mod will need to be a so-called "coremod" for this to work (i.e. it implements IFMLLoadingPlugin).

Look in our wiki, there's a tutorial written by keepcalm under the intermediate section.

There is? I can't seem to find it, otherwise I would have linked to it.
